Belay my last message.
Please don't breach copyright on my behalf.
However, if people can find a way of telling me what the command sequences and
their effects for these terminals are, whilst satisfying themselves that they
are complying with copyright, I should be grateful.
Alternatively, if you have old tektronics manuals lying around which you
no longer use, and would like to give me them, I'd be ever so grateful.
I really can't afford to buy $50 manuals for a project from which I have no intention of profiting.

P.S. I have looked round CMU for these things, and a week long search
failed to turn them up.

I am the person who grafted tek4014 emulation onto vt100(2.6), and I am now in the process of repeating the graft with vt100(2.8). Actually, that part is done, and I am now working on a few improvements in the tek emulation. One change which is finished is support for the font of your choice, toghether with a small "topaz" like font which approximately matches the size of one of the tek4014 fonts. However, the program will now use any font which you supply. Anyway, if anyone is interested, I will post it to the sources/binaries groups, and would also consider any new features or fixes people might suggest. As for the problems with tek, I have noticed that it sometimes drops characters, and believe that it is some sort of bug with flow control. The problems become very severe when another program with equal or higher priority is competing for time. A definite "offender" is the title bar clock/memory monitor. When the other programs are run at a lower priority, the problems go away, although the residual bad characters may still come from a problem like this. I'm sorry I haven't been able to pin the problem down, but tek works pretty well for me, and life is short. Nick
